Changing Paths to Selections

Right-click on the path with one of the Pen tools or Path Selection tools. A submenu displays. Select Make Selection from this menu. You’ll notice the path now displays the marching ants effect (or a moving dotted line).

Filling a Selection with Color

In the toolbox, double-click the Foreground Color option. The Color Picker dialog box displays. Enter the following in the RGB text fields and then press the OK button:

R: 13

G: 31

B: 124

Now select the Paint Bucket tool and click within your selection. The selection fills with your blue color, as shown in figure below.
